Get the list of the tech gadgets capturing the minds and hearts of CNET fans.

Welcome to CNET Top 5, where each time we meet, we count down another
hot CNET list. I'm Tom Merritt.
It's that time again. We've corralled our terabytes of traffic data to
find out what product review pages CNET users have viewed the most and
ordered them up in a tidy little list for you.
Let's take a look. Here are the Top 5 most popular products.
At No. 5, The Asus Eee PC 1005HA. This Netbook broke the smartphone
monopoly on "Most popular" when it came out in June. It's an Editors'
Choice, too!
Coming in at No. 4, the Apple iPhone 3GS. Despite the network reports
in the U.S., y'all are still fascinated by the flashiest little phone
without Flash on the market. How much longer will the infatuation last?
Up to No. 3, the Sony PS3 Slim. Really? That's all Sony had to do, was
lower the price and lose some weight? Does this mean the Xbox 360 with
the new price cut will be on here next month? Or is it really the slim
part that attracted you? You're so shallow.
Sliding in at No. 2, Microsoft Windows 7. Good news for Microsoft here,
you are already fascinated by Windows 7 and it doesn't even come out
until the end of October. But it does look as if it will fulfill your
expectations. So go ahead! Anticipate irrationally!
Before we get to No. 1, time for another lame prize.
We're going to make this simple. Guess which product was No. 6 most
popular this month and post your answer on the blog post for this Top 5
at blog.cnettv.com.
Be one of the first ten people to get it right and you could win this
Tiger Direct build a PC racing shirt...No. 8.
All right. Let's get to our No. 1. The most popular product of the
month. The one you love the most.
At No. 1, it's...the LG enV Touch. It's its second straight month at
No. 1! It's an Editors' Choice, too, which means it's probably the best
phone choice for you if you're on Verizon.
And only the second phone on the list. Which means we have more not-
phones than phones this month. It's good to be back in a land of
diverse tech interests.
Well That's it for this edition of CNET Top 5.
Don't forget to make your guess at No. 6 for a chance to win the Racing
shirt. It has been worn once by me but I washed it.
I'm Tom Merritt. See you next time.
